sick of study already - 15 days more of it =(. lot more to cram into my head - lucky my 3 subjects cross over a bit but so much to learn still.
random things:
- haven't left the house since sunday and won't til tomorrow night! longest period i haven't been out in ages. HERMIT much? =P
- "Humility" (C.J Mahoney) - is a really good book to read even during exams - beats study anyday. it has lots of applications and thinks to think about.
- created twitter yesterday: www.twitter.com/bekkielim duno exactly why. not going to use it now. fb is enough already. disactivate or self-control? hmmm.
Countdown:
16 days til freedom!

FINALLY update
I totally suck at updating blogs. Keep forgetting i have one. Thanks to those who reminded me about it and updating. will try to update more =). prepare for a super LONG entry....of bek's extremely boring life!
WOOHOO first year down nearly - well no more new learning except obviously of those lectures that i've missed (anatomy fri 6-8pm lectures)! SOTE finished =(. SOTE was such an awesome group - gonna miss it - we had 3 amazing leaders and a great bunch of youngens (i am actually quite old in the group! 4th or 5th youngest haha).
SWOTVAC/exams -
Some reason i'm not stressed about exams (well not yet which is good and bad) - probably coz my first exam is 2 weeks away and it's not worth that much. If i'm stressed - i'm really stressed and can get sick. If i'm not stressed i might not get work done so there should be an optimum level of stress. need motivation! Its a strange feeling to be so not stressed - not complaining exactly ;D.
Operation Christmas Child -
wow, awesome just sums it up! 3000 boxes in 1 night! new record apparently. great team work. To be part of something so life changing to the lives of disadvantaged children in different countries (eg. vietnam) - thanks to yf and god for such an opportunity for yfers to serve in this way. it was quite sad that we had to chuck away so much stuff into the 'reject bin' but fortunately some of it may go to other charities. have no idea why so many people put small lollies and marbles for 3 year olds! OH YEAH, Had so much fun playing with the various muppets and toys xD...yes, i'm still quite a kid sometimes hahahaha. people really did put a lot of effort into the boxes - christmas cards even some with photos. Free exercise for a good cause! =) doesn't get any better than that!

Reflections on life -
I've been reflecting on life this year lately since starting YF compared to last year and WOW, it's been completely different and it continues to change everyday. Never expected so much to be the way they are. its full of surprises but i prefer this year so much more and can't wait to future to see what god has installed. NOt revealing much ....stay tuned and wait til my testimony =P.
Looking forward to:
- going to first ever wedding (congrats iggy!)
- baptisms
- girl's/guy's night - should be fun!
- catching up with girls coz i've been rather anti-social
- completing my testimony .... something inspiring hopefully!
Prayer points:
- make most of opportunities to study and glorify god in everything
- no slacking and eagerly wanting to spend quiet time reading bible and many christian books i borrowed (and applying it!)
- exams: first exam on 9th and last two on the 13th
- continue to change my heart (great sermon last few weeks) and trusting him more.
- complain less and realise how great god is to everyone (be more appreciative)!
please msg me prayer points anyone too! =)

From The Inside Out
MY MOST FAVE SONG since YF camp :). Such amazing lyrics.
love love LOVE it. stuck in my head hehe. Can't believe
i still love it so much...i'm usually over songs quickly.
Every word/line of this song really speaks to me...it's
just so beautiful and makes me smile even when i'm feeling
down =D
From The Inside Out - Hillsong
A thousand times I've failed
Still your mercy remains
And should I stumble again
Still I'm caught in your grace
Everlasting, Your light will shine when all else fades
Never ending, Your glory goes beyond all fame
my heart and my soul, Lord I give you control
Consume me from the inside out Lord
Let justice and praise become my embrace
To love You from the inside out
Your will above all else, my purpose remains
The art of losing myself in bringing you praise
Everlasting, Your light will shine when all else fades
Never ending, Your glory goes beyond all fame
In my heart, in my soul, Lord I give you control
Consume me from the inside out Lord
Let justice and praise become my embrace
To love You from the inside out
Chorus 2x
Everlasting, Your light will shine when all else fades
Never ending, Your glory goes beyond all fame
And the cry of my heart is to bring You praise
From the inside out Lord, my soul cries out
